Default RE: Giant glider tow

I have a 120" Pilatus, with a Zenoha 62. Although a good platform for flying around, but under powered for more than 4M tug work. Next week we are going to try a 4M glider in the 12lb range. And I'm not overly confident. Big gliders need to go fast when being towed. This works great for 3M gliders. But I might as well use my 109inch Cub with a Saito 182 twin. A 10 yr old Tug.
If you are pulling such big gliders, power up.
